Atlanta Vacation Guide

Atlanta is the capital of the state of Georgia and the transportation hub for the Southeastern part of the US. Atlanta offers a great variety of international flavors. After all, the 1996 Summer Olympics were hosted there.

Atlanta was used as a railroad hub, but was burnt to the ground in 1864 by General Sherman during the American Civil War (as dramatized in Gone With the Wind). Visit the Martin Luther King, Jr. National Historic Site to learn more about the Civil Rights movement. Don't exclude the Atlanta History Center, Atlanta Cyclorama, Civil War Museum, Carter Ctr. & Presidential Library, & the Margaret Mitchell House Museum.

Atlanta has an active music and art scene. It is home to several major recording studios for hip-hop & R&B, as well as some rock and pop music artists like Usher & T.I., and is often called "the hip-hop & rap capital of the world."

One recent well-known attractions is the Georgia Aquarium, followed by the new World of Coca-Cola. Both are located within walking distance of Centennial Olympic Park, which is surrounded by a cluster of other downtown attractions, like the Georgia Dome, Philips Arena, and the CNN Center. Other places to check out include the Virginia Highlands, and Buckhead for fine dining and dancing.

Summer is humid and hot in Atlanta (giving it the nickname Hotlanta), and throughout the year it shares the subtropical climate like the rest of Southeastern US. It is a big city with lots of sites to see.
